New dates for old games! Nintendo spills the Wii launch dates for Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis...

Returning to the Wii are Nintendo's Pikmin and Mario franchises - though of course, many Nintendo gamers will have played these titles before. This duo of Wii-makes with added new controls will be releasing very soon - Pikmin on February 6th and Mario Power Tennis on March 6th. Both will retail for �29.95 (and around the same price in Great British Pounds).

Noticeably, the Pikmin press release really highlights the "puzzle solving" elements of the title - Nintendo surely aiming for the Brain Training crowd.

Later in the year Europe will also see Pikmin 2 and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat re-released as well.
